Breakfast, not Beer

The Hall by BeerLab, in Pearlridge shopping mall, near Anna Miller’s Restaurant. The only location that serves meals (the other locations are more beer gardens).

Garden Omelet

The Cat’s order. Spinach, tomato, mushrooms, onion, and cheese with rice and wheat toast.

Wagyu Loco Moco

The Mouse’s order. Wagyu hamburger patty, 2 local Waialua Farm eggs, rice, creamy mushroom gravy. The Mouse had to take a couple lactase enzyme pills, totally worth it. Three paws up. The gravy was just a little peppery for The Mouse but still enjoyable-y edible. 🙂

The Cat approved a return for more breakfast.

Be safe, eat good.

“Tea” and “Cornbread Casserole”?

The Cat and The Mouse running an errand over the mountain. Did a little food exploring.

Wall Art

Rabbit Rabbit Tea shop. Art definitely giving off “Alice” vibes, at least to The Mouse anyway. Hee hee.

The Cat’s Drink

Cranberry and green grape.

The Mouse’s Drink

Winter Melon with lemon. It was okay, The Mouse should have ordered plain, without lemon, but try okay.

Side note: The Cat’s business partner has an obsession with cornbread. Nearby, a grill and bar with cornbread on its menu. The Mouse ran in for take-out.

Cornbread Casserole

The Mouse Cat took to work to share. 🙂

Not Dim Sum

The Cat and The Mouse try try new-ish restaurant. Ventured to Chinatown. Oof.

Hawaii Dim Sum and Seafood restaurant. That’s a mouthful. Hee hee.

The Mouse saw a few different dishes he wanted to try.

Sauteed Spinach with Preserved Eggs and Salted Eggs

Pretty good. The Mouse ate some of the spinach, let The Cat have the eggs.

Lotus Root with Red Bean Curd Sauce

Almost home food in a good way.

Shrimp with Scrambled Eggs

Mmm.

There are several egg dishes The Mouse wants to try from this restaurant, steamed egg custard with shrimp, scrambled eggs with tomato (another home comfort food dish), and eggs with bitter melon. Planning to return, hopefully soon. 🙂

More Layers

This time meat, pork specifically. The Cat was in the mood for tonkatsu. The two places The Mouse knows of, reservations were filled. The Mouse proposed try try new-ish tonkatsu cafe. Used to be located at the Ohana Marketplace business incubator. Different style of tonkatsu.

Sign

Cafe is named after owners’ daughter. Cute ya?

Kasane Tonkatsu Bento

Most popular menu item. Kurobuto pork. Mmm!

Uzumaki Shiso Katsu Roll Bento

Kurobuto pork belly rolled with shiso. Even more Mmm!

The style the cafe does they call “mille-feuille” or thousand sheets, pastry term?

The Mouse thinks “croissant”. 🙂

The Cat think good choice, very tender and juicy. Sometimes other tonkatsu could be thicker, but dry. The Cat approved return visit. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Try Try

The Mouse returned a mail order item, factory outlet store on the other side of the island. Try try “Taiwanese noodle bar”, Fooki.

Side Order Won Ton

Because, whenever possible, The Mouse eats won ton, or any other dumpling for that matter. Hee hee.

Beef Tendon

Almost cooked through, The Mouse took home most of the tendon, simmer a little longer. Not bad though.

Veggie Scallion Noodles

Mushroom, tofu, onion, cilantro, green onion, scallion oil, stir-fried with noodles. Light and refreshing.

Braised Pork Belly Bowl

Overall, pretty good, slightly pricey, definitely not cheap eats. Worth another try if we are in the neighborhood. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.
